How are they baffled at Trump doing Trump stuff?

It’s really weird how much ticket splitting there’s been in those battleground states. Harris lost them, but the state wide races generally went well for the Dems.

Who’s this Trump-Gallego voter?

I think he’s going to just go into other agencies and fuck shit up by changing their processes. There’s going to be a lot of broken shit all over the place in like a year or so.

He’s literally sending weapons to the man beating the child and telling him where to hit him where it hurts most

I wouldn’t exactly call Biden a pacifist…

Cops kill thousands of pets every year, so she’ll be a shoo-in.

Yeah, it’s not like anyone is saying Hamas are great, but it’s a bit rich for Israel to be saying they care about Palestinian victims of Hamas when they do the same to their prisoners and are actively engaged in ethnic cleansing.

Democrats decided to go with a Republican, of course he was going to look out for them. Dems reaching across the isle only to get fucked over, a tale as old as time.

This isn’t blackmail, those nudes have been out there the day they were initially published in a magazine.

Countries have different immigration streams, and skilled people that have matching language skills are put way in front of refugees in every country. Countries like Australia and New Zealand will be jumping at the chance to get scientists and health care professionals from the US. They’re already picking off everyone they can find in the UK.

They have 6 justices that are happy to interpret the constitution in any way Republicans like already.

Allow them to work and they can fund their stay anywhere. Anyway, like like all that’s moot now, Trump is going to be going with the government accommodation model.

He’s planning to fire a ton of government employees unless they bend the knee, and if he starts messing with universities a bunch of scientists would be pressured to say the ‘right’ things as well. If that happens, those people would leave. Plus, in those other countries, health care isn’t tied to your employment.

There’s no guarantee all 4 of those states would be red tho.

The ones leaving are the best educated ones. It’s basically a brain drain, similar to what happens to a lot of developing countries. Once the process starts, it’s hard to reverse because it’s a self reinforcing cycle.

They’ll finance it with debt, sale of assets and cutting of services. Which is probably even worse

He’s going to be on the cabinet while getting billions in government contracts. The richest man in the world just got a job where he gets to to shovel more government money to himself. And that’s what Trump calls ‘draining the swamp’ and ‘sticking it to the elites’.

And somehow, instead of democrats calling that out, they decided to find their own elites to trot out.

So I’m guessing this is Jacob Wohl again?

Yep, while it’s technically true that inflation is down, people still struggle with grocery prices having basically doubled, so unless you caused everyone’s wages to rise at least as much, you’re just going to piss people off when you say their lived experience is wrong.

It’s like the people running the campaigns don’t know any regular people.

Trump is similarly out of touch, but he somehow managed to say things that resonate, mostly because his schtick was always that ‘America isn’t what it used to be’.

IIRC, it’s a civil case, can’t get pardoned for that (although I guess he could be pardoned for contempt charges?).
